Patients, Test Makers Ask Lawmakers To Meet On Diagnostics Bill Draft

Major lobby groups representing diagnostic test makers wrote to House and Senate committee heads on Monday (May 6) asking them to work with stakeholders and FDA to revise their draft legislation that lays out an approach for FDA to regulate in-vitro clinical tests. The groups have different views on FDA’s purview, but they generally agree that diagnostic tests should be regulated differently than traditional medical devices. ML Strategies Senior Director Aaron Josephson talks about this latest draft of the bill.
